Set on the ground floor of a well-maintained purpose-built block, this two-bedroom apartment combines comfortable living space with easy access to neatly landscaped communal gardens. The lounge/diner opens via south-east-facing French doors onto the gardens, bringing in morning light and offering a peaceful outlook. Both bedrooms are generous doubles with fitted wardrobes; the accommodation totals a roomy 876 sq ft, larger than many two-bedroom flats.
Practical positives include a private garage to the rear, a long 999-year lease, and no onward chain — useful for a quick, straightforward purchase. Annual service charges are modest at £1,283.54 and council tax is described as affordable (Band C). The building dates from the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize or retire in a quiet, affluent neighbourhood with low crime and excellent mobile signal. The communal gardens and nearby local amenities (shops, transport links, golf club) add convenience without the upkeep of a large private garden.
Notable considerations: the property sits within a communal retirement classification, so check eligibility or communal rules if applicable. Broadband speeds are average and the install date for the double glazing is unknown. The internal layout and finish are described as above average but the bathroom is a standard three-piece suite rather than an ensuite or modern wet room, so there may be scope for updating to personal taste.
